What really exists | under the surface - Jim Carrey

I used to be a guy who was experiencing the world and now I feel like the world in the universe experiencing a guy when the curtain goes down at the end of the drama the hero and the villain step out hand in hand and the audience applaud both because they know that the hero role in the villain role are only masks as an actor you play characters and then if you go deep enough into those characters you realize that your own character is pretty thin to begin with you know and then you suddenly have this

separation and go who's Jim Carrey oh he doesn't exist actually and at a certain point I realized hey wait a second you know if it's so easy to lose Jim Carrey who the hell is Jim Carrey there's there's just a relative manifestation of consciousness appearing and and then somebody gave him a bunch of ideas they gave him a name and a religion and nationality and he clustered those together into something that's supposed to be a personality and it doesn't actually exist there's and none of that stuff if you drill down is real and so you

see behind the stage two there is the green room where after the play is over and before it begins the masks are taken off dressing happens doing hair happens interviewing happens and it happens without me without without the idea of a meal you know it's it's really the fact that we are already enlightened we're already complete and it's just realizing that you're complete once you realize you're complete then then this life and everything in it becomes a play of form something to toy with and play with and make something good out of it's what's happening

right now inside everybody is they're going who am i and they're depressed you know a lot of people because they're trying to hold up an image in the world and that's what depression is you know people don't like Jim's been depressed and stuff well yeah I was depressed when I was trying to be the Wizard of Oz instead of the sweaty guy behind the curtain but now I know that Oz is a character you know everybody walks around and they go like why am I depressed well it's because you're trying to be something for the

world you know and as soon as you let that go better things happen because they're just happening and there's been a series of kind of awakenings I've had in my life and you know people chalk it up to depression all that stuff I think that you know grief and sadness and all those things are are that the ticket home to nothing I think that that was a part of the process there's been several other awakenings and and and yet still I have a lot of egoic attachments that that pull line attention focus I think you

know the right marriage with the right character and the right guy who's going through something this is essential and so that behind the scene that is to say in reality under the surface you are all the actor marvelous is skilled in playing many parts and in getting lost in the mazes of your own minds and the entanglements of your own affairs as if this were the most urgent thing going but behind the scenes in the green room you always have a very tiny sneaking suspicion that you might not be the you that you think you
